<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Define a computation that simply stores atom attributes for each atom
in the group.  This is useful so that the values can be used by other
<a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-8"><span>output commands</span></a> that take computes as
inputs.  See for example, the <a class="reference internal" href="compute_reduce.html"><em>compute reduce</em></a>,
<a class="reference internal" href="fix_ave_atom.html"><em>fix ave/atom</em></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="fix_ave_histo.html"><em>fix ave/histo</em></a>,
<a class="reference internal" href="fix_ave_spatial.html"><em>fix ave/spatial</em></a>, and <a class="reference internal" href="variable.html"><em>atom-style variable</em></a> commands.</p>
<p>The list of possible attributes is the same as that used by the <a class="reference internal" href="dump.html"><em>dump custom</em></a> command, which describes their meaning, with some
additional quantities that are only defined for certain <a class="reference internal" href="atom_style.html"><em>atom styles</em></a>.  Basically, this list gives your input script
access to any per-atom quantity stored by LIGGGHTS(R)-PUBLIC.</p>
<p>The values are stored in a per-atom vector or array as discussed
below.  Zeroes are stored for atoms not in the specified group or for
quantities that are not defined for a particular particle in the group
(e.g. <em>shapex</em> if the particle is not an ellipsoid).</p>
<p>The additional quantities only accessible via this command, and not
directly via the <a class="reference internal" href="dump.html"><em>dump custom</em></a> command, are as follows.</p>
<p><em>Shapex</em>, <em>shapey</em>, and <em>shapez</em> are defined for ellipsoidal particles
and define the 3d shape of each particle.</p>
<p><em>Quatw</em>, <em>quati</em>, <em>quatj</em>, and <em>quatk</em> are defined for ellipsoidal
particles and body particles and store the 4-vector quaternion
representing the orientation of each particle.  See the <a class="reference internal" href="set.html"><em>set</em></a>
command for an explanation of the quaternion vector.</p>
<p><em>End1x</em>, <em>end1y</em>, <em>end1z</em>, <em>end2x</em>, <em>end2y</em>, <em>end2z</em>, are defined for
line segment particles and define the end points of each line segment.</p>
<p><em>Corner1x</em>, <em>corner1y</em>, <em>corner1z</em>, <em>corner2x</em>, <em>corner2y</em>,
<em>corner2z</em>, <em>corner3x</em>, <em>corner3y</em>, <em>corner3z</em>, are defined for
triangular particles and define the corner points of each triangle.</p>
<p>The <em>i_name</em> and <em>d_name</em> attributes refer to custom integer and
floating-point properties that have been added to each atom via the
<code class="xref doc docutils literal"><span class="pre">fix</span> <span class="pre">property/atom</span></code> command.  When that command
is used specific names are given to each attribute which are what is
specified as the &#8220;name&#8221; portion of <em>i_name</em> or <em>d_name</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Output info:</strong></p>
<p>This compute calculates a per-atom vector or per-atom array depending
on the number of input values.  If a single input is specified, a
per-atom vector is produced.  If two or more inputs are specified, a
per-atom array is produced where the number of columns = the number of
inputs.  The vector or array can be accessed by any command that uses
per-atom values from a compute as input.  See <a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-8"><span>this section</span></a> for an overview of LIGGGHTS(R)-PUBLIC output
options.</p>
<p>The vector or array values will be in whatever <a class="reference internal" href="units.html"><em>units</em></a> the
corresponding attribute is in, e.g. velocity units for vx, charge
units for q, etc.</p>
